One of the most amazing places to visit in Mauritius is the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanic Garden. A large collection of indigenous and exotic plants can be found at the Botanic Garden. This includes the giant Victoria Amazonica water lilies pictured below.

The Mauritian Wildlife Foundation has spent a lot of time and energy to rebuild Ile aux Aigrettes. The Ile is a conservation site for native animals and plants. Their objective is to “Promote ecotourism, as a means to raise public awareness, generate income and employment and to contribute towards the sustainable development of Mauritius and Rodrigues”.
